Focus on Taking Care of Business

This ten-day period may not be a barrel of monkeys for the two of you; the focus is off laughter and romance and on taking care of business. But what a lot of business you can tackle this week, when you work as a team. You're disciplined and focused when you're together; when one of you starts to stray from the task at hand, the other can gently bring you back around again.

When you put your heads together, you can work out almost any snag, solve almost any problem. All of those skills are your forte now as a couple, and you should certainly put them to use in whatever arena is appropriate. Do you have some paperwork to finalize together, or a project around the house that needs attention? Does one of you have a family situation that needs resolving, something that could go more smoothly if you both work on it together? Whatever it is, give it your attention as a team now. You can also help each other simply with working on or understanding something on a personal level, such as an interesting problem in your school work or career. Now would also be a good time to help each other brainstorm ways to chat up your boss for a raise or promotion.
